“Leah was an exceptional sitter for my two dogs and cats. She was meticulous with her attention and care, and kept my home in great shape when I returned from a two week holiday. I can’t recommend her enough!”
“Brady did a wonderful job with my puppy Draco! He even let my mom’s Yorkie stay with him and watched her too! He was respectful of my home and was very communicative. Even got a couple pictures while I was gone! Thank you Brady! We will be using your services again!”
“Emily watched our 4 babies: 2 dogs and 2 cats for 4 days while we went on vacation. She did everything we asked, and sent us so many updates and photos. We had never left them before, (and our oldest is almost 7). So to say I was anxious, is a huge understatement. She even got our extremely antisocial cat to interact with her, she’s the best.”
“We left our precious Pomeranian with Leah for eight days, and felt confident that our pup was in good hands. We were not wrong. Leah was conscientious and reliable, getting to know our pup more each day, and they felt totally comfortable with each other after a short time. Leah was responsible and followed all of our directions to a T. She stayed in our home and took fantastic care of the house as well as the dog. We will continue to use her as our dog sitter and highly recommend her services.”
About: I have owned dogs and cats my entire life! I volunteered for the Indianapolis Humane Society for 2 years where I gained experience walking dogs of all energy levels and sizes. I also have experience dog walking for my friends and family. I love all dogs and cats and I am excited to spend time with yours! I am currently home from college for the summer and I am not working, so I have a lot of time to care for your pets! I am available any day of the week or the weekend. My house has a fenced in yard and I do not currently own any dogs and cats, so your pet is more than welcome to stay at my house for the day. I am aware of near by emergency pet care facilities in case of emergency. I am very conscious of how I hold the leash when walking and I ensure that all doors and windows stay shut.
“Absolutely fantastic experience! Our dogs took to Chloe without hesitation. She took very good care of Harley and Davidson, sent pictures, was very care and loving. We will use her again. Thank you Chloe!!”
“I have used Rover for about a decade now and Allison may be the best sitter I have ever had. She did a wonderful job, she told me she would put the pups first and it’s obvious that she did! She stayed in my home and it was just as clean as when I left...which with other sitters has not always been the case. I will absolutely be using her again! Thank you so much, Allison!”
“Anna did a great job with our 2 big dogs! She had a couple of sticky situations (one dog getting sick and the bedroom door knob falling off) and she handled them like a pro. Will absolutely rebook with her”
“Gianna watched our bud Goose while we were away for the weekend and it was a great choice. She was communicative, great with Goose, and had absolutely no troubles taking care of him. We came home to a very happy boy, and I’m sure he will be staying with Gianna again in the future.”
“Alexa is a first ballot Hall of Fame Dog Sitter! She has excellent chemistry with animals, she is kind, professional, punctual, communicative, and quite possibly the best dog photographer we’ve encountered on Rover! Gold Star. 10/10.”
“Brittney took great care of our two dogs!! She stayed at our house and also took great care of the house! She sent pictures and updates throughout. When we got home the dogs were very a lot ease, no sign of being stressed with us gone. Would highly recommend and plan to use her again!”
“Maddie was amazing! She stayed at our house to watch our two dogs, and they absolutely loved her. She was super nice, kept us updated with photos, and took great care of them. We came home to 2 very happy pups. Couldn’t ask for a better sitter— highly recommend & we will definitely be using her again!”
“Kyla was a fantastic pet sitter. She took care of our two dogs and cat while our family was on vacation. She kept us updated with pictures; she gave our animals plenty of love, and she made our vacation better because we knew our animals were cared for. No issues. We would absolutely invite her back to watch our animals again. Highly recommend!”
“Tucker stayed with jedi all weekend, he took him on walks, kept me updated (with pictures) and gave him the attention he deserves. Jedi liked his company and I will happily rebook if he is available for my next trip.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Broad Ripple
Cecilia did an amazing job watching our dog and house while we were away on vacation. She was reliable, communicative, and took wonderful care of everything. Our pup absolutely loved her! We would highly recommend Cecilia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.
Regan was absolutely amazing while staying at our home and caring for Lola. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, keeping me updated with messages and photos so I always knew Lola was doing well. It was obvious that Regan genuinely spent quality time with Lola...playing with her, giving her attention, taking her on walks, and making sure she felt loved while we were away. She went above and beyond, even getting up in the middle of the night to let Lola out when needed. Regan treated both my home and my dog with so much care and respect. I would absolutely have her stay again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive, and caring pet sitter.
Allison is FANTASTIC! She took excellent care of the “kids” and our home while we were out of the country for a week. They had so much fun with her I think they were sad we came home. We have a high anxiety pup and Allison was super patient with her and ensured her meds stayed on track and that she got all the extra attention she needed. Allison sent tons of great photos and videos to keep us up to date each day!
Hailey was flexible, dependable and communicative! From our first meeting it was clear that Theo would be in good hands! She administered medicine for him, took him for walks and even checked in when out smoke alarm battery was low to ensure the chirping sound wouldn’t bother him. Would absolutely book again!
Holli & Susan are absolutely incredible!! We had them watch our three dogs (2 chihuahuas & 1 husky shepherd mix) for the first time for 4 nights and 5 days and they were so kind. They send us photos every day and communication was excellent the house was spotless when we came back too. I would highly recommend them!! They are the best!
Maddie is our go to sitter! We’ve used her 4 times and counting with 2 of those stays being 10+ days. Our pup loves when she watches him as he gets all the play time & snuggles. We never have to worry as we know he’s in great hands ☺️ I will always recommend Maddie for any of your pet needs!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my dogs received. Eileen was incredibly attentive and patient and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Not only were my dogs well cared for, but my home was too. Everything was kept tidy, secure, and exactly as I left it. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets and your home with real care, Eileen is the person you want. Truly outstanding service and someone I’ll absolutely book again.
Jenna is such an amazing young lady! We left our two boys with Jenna while she stayed in our home, this was our first time having a pet sitter. She went above and beyond to keep me updated on how things were going, sent pictures/videos and took such great care of them. When I returned home, the house was clean just like I left it. We will definitely ask Jenna back, our two Goldens loved their time with her.

FAQs for House Sitting - Broad Ripple
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Broad Ripple on Rover is $47.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,542 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Broad Ripple. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Broad Ripple walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Broad Ripple maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Broad Ripple choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
